Had a very enjoyable week staying at Windways. House very spacious, warm and well equipped. Beds very comfortable and we had no problems sleeping. Some of the furniture a bit tired, but still functional. Settees both a bit soft, and difficult to get out of. Port Erin is a pleasant village with walks straight from your door. Possibly the nicest village on the Island. Not for people who dislike or have difficulty on hills. Can recommend the cafe at the Sound, and Bride Cafe in the north of the Island. Peel Castle an interesting visit.

Wonderful location. We chose it for the nearness to the stream railway. Port Erin turned out to be a good base for exploring the island. Also had good places to eat or get takeaways. We loved the house and its elevated position. The sea view from one bedroom was stunning.
